LEADERSHIP

Board of Trustees
Responsibility for the CSU is vested in the 25-member Board of Trustees, the majority of whom are appointed by the governor to eight-year terms. Faculty, alumni and two student trustees serve two-year terms. The trustees appoint the chancellor, who is the chief executive officer of the system. The trustees also appoint the presidents, who are the chief executive officers on their respective campuses and who report to the
chancellor.

The trustees, chancellor and presidents develop systemwide policy, with actual implementation at the campus level taking place through broadly based consultative procedures. The CSU Statewide Academic Senate, made up of elected representatives of the faculty from each campus, recommends academic policy to the Board of Trustees through the chancellor.
